We never know what the future holds. That's why it's essential that you, as a student, can manage a few days without electricity, water, or food from the store.

Creating a small emergency supply is easier than you might think!

Many students have limited storage space, so you'll need to figure out what you can fit in your student housing. Maybe you can keep a box in your closet, under your bed, or in your storage room with what you’d need in an emergency: some bottles of water, crispbread, canned food, a portable stove, a flashlight, candles, and matches? Even a little is better than nothing. Start with essentials like water and warmth, then add more over time.

<ul>
	<li>Clean drinking water stored in bottles or containers.</li>
	<li>Food that can be stored at room temperature.</li>
	<li>A grill, portable stove, or camping stove.</li>
	<li>Warm clothes, blankets, duvets, and sleeping bags.</li>
	<li>Matches and candles.</li>
	<li>Firewood if you have a wood stove or fireplace.</li>
	<li>A gas or kerosene heater designed for indoor use as an alternative to wood heating.</li>
	<li>An agreement for overnight stays if you don’t have alternative heating.</li>
	<li>Flashlights or headlamps powered by batteries, crank, or solar.</li>
	<li>A DAB radio powered by batteries, crank, or solar.</li>
	<li>Medicines and first aid supplies.</li>

	<li>Batteries and a charged power bank.</li>
	<li>Some cash and multiple payment cards.</li>
	<li>Food and water for pets.</li>
	<li>A paper list with important phone numbers like emergency numbers, doctors, veterinarians, family, friends, and neighbors.</li>
</ul>
